    Abstract

    Healthcare and medicine are, and have always been, very knowledge-intensive fields. Healthcare professionals use knowledge of the structure (molecular biology, cell biology, histology, gross anatomy) and functioning of the human body as well as knowledge of methods and means, some of them described by clinical guidelines, to diagnose and manage disorders. In addition, knowledge of how healthcare is organised is essential for the management of a patient’s disease.
